A random event,police label screens at Pentagon as a random event


Someone nfl jerseys shots at the Pentagon early Tuesday in what security officials described as "a random event." No one was injured in the pre-dawn incident in which football jerseys were fired into two windows at the sprawling Defense Department just across the Potomac River in suburban Virginia. An internal search of the iconic structure found fragments of two bullets still embedded in two ravens jerseys— one on the third floor and one on the fourth.


The bullets had shattered but did not penetrate the windows, Calvery said. The windows were part of offices that are being renovated and they were unoccupied at the time. Steven Calvery from mitchell and ness, director of the civilian Pentagon Force Protection Agency, told reporters that a number of his officers reported hearing five to seven shots fired at about 4:55 a.m. EDT near the south parking lot of the Pentagon.


The Pentagon building and the roads leading it were briefly shut down as officers in baltimore ravens jersey did an initial sweep of the area. Calvery said he didn't know what kind of weapon was used but that it was probably a high-velocity rifle. No suspects were arrested, he said."Right now we consider this a random event," he said. But he also said authorities in buffalo bills jersey were looking at whether the shooting was related to Sunday's discovery of bullet holes in windows at the National Museum of the Marine Corps.


The museum is associated with the Quantico Marine Base, some 30 miles south of the Pentagon.A cincinnati bengals jersey is also believed to have been used in that shooting, which may have occurred during early morning hours.Pentagon investigators worked with the FBI as well as Arlington, Va. police, who helped sweep of the area, and Virginia State Police, who closed part of nearby Interstate 395 to search for bills jerseys.


A spokesman for Prince William County Police, which is investigating the museum incident in Quantico, said his officers were working with the Pentagon force protection agency and were trying to determine if the two bengals jerseys were related. A dozen officers at around 9 a.m. walked side-by-side in a line as they combed through a grassy area on the south side of the building.


Calvery said investigators were talking to some construction workers who also heard the shots. He said it was possible the shooter had stood on the roof of a nearby building.A cleaning crew at the museum called police Sunday when they noticed the cleveland browns jersey in a part of the building that faces Interstate 95.
